The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently released an updated Form M-274, Handbook for Employers. The handbook assists employers in completing Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification.
Form Has Eight Parts
Form M-274 is broken into eight parts, each dealing with a specific topic. The parts are:
- Why Employers Must Verify Employment Authorization and Identity of New Employees
- Completing Form I-9
- Photocopying and Retaining Form I-9
- Unlawful Discrimination and Penalties for Prohibited Practices
- Instructions for Recruiters and Referrers for a Fee
- E-Verify: The Web-based Verification Companion to Form I-9
- Some Questions You May Have About Form I-9
- Acceptable Documents for Verifying Employment Authorization and Identity
Establishing Identity and Employment Authorization
To establish both identity and employment authorization, a person must present to his or her employer a document or combination of documents, if applicable, from List A, which shows both identity and employment authorization; or one document from List B, which shows only identity, and one document from List C, which shows only employment authorization. Sample illustrations of acceptable documents are also presented.
